Being friends with a group of mutants is nothing if not entertaining. You didn’t foresee this life for yourself, but after almost being abducted by the Krang, this became your new normal. When the four turtle-human mutants rescued you, you were scared of them, but not more than you were the Krang, and you didn’t want to go back to living alone on the streets. Upon expressing your living situation, the one in a blue bandana, Leonardo, suggested that they take you back to their lair, to ensure your safety.

The red bandana turtle, Raphael, was not on board with this plan, but considering he was outvoted three to one, thanks to Donatello and Michael Angelo, or rather Donnie and Mikey, you ended up blindfolded and carried back to their home in the sewers. Raph complained about how bad of an idea this was the entire time, but he was ignored.

You met their Sensei and Father, Master Splinter, shortly after arriving in the lair. The large rat mutant was a bit skeptical of you at first, but decided to let you stay. Over the next few weeks, you began to get used to this new life. You helped where you could on missions, spying during the day on buildings and such, and even began training with the turtles and Splinter. Everyone accepted you- everyone other than Raph.

You and him seemed to butt heads more than anyone else. Considering you’re both stubborn by nature, it wasn’t exactly a surprise. He rarely held back on you during training, but you got your revenge in other ways, like shredding his high scores on all of the games in the lair. He was pissed about that.

One day, when the others were on a mission that Splinter told Raph he wasn’t going on, because Raph was in a bit of a mood, you walked into the living space to find him playing one of the video games that was down there. You hear the death sound, and he curses, smacking the side of the system. You settle yourself on the couch, watching as he fails time and again to beat your high scores.

“What the hell!” He roars, and you chuckle. He turns, eyes narrowed.
